How to Balance Your Body Through Crystal Healing

Crystal healing can purportedly be used to balance your body, especially if you use "chakras," or energy centers, to complete the process. Both crystal healing and "chakras" have been around since ancient times. Both approaches believe that the body's natural energy can be thrown out of balance creating physical and emotional ailments such as depression, blocked arteries, an inability to focus and lethargy for example. To restore your body's balance, place crystals along the body for a few minutes each day. Follow these steps to find out how.

Things You'll Need:

• Crystals

Balance Your Body Through Crystal Healing

1. Know the different ways crystals can be used to reinstate balance. They're often employed during bodywork, meditation, in bathwater or drinking water, or simply laid upon the body.

2. Pay attention when selecting crystals. An odd number of facets or planes makes the stone ideal for healing purposes while an even number suggests it will be best put to use for rejuvenation.

3. Think about the color. Red, yellow and orange are energizing. Clear and aquamarine are cleansing. Lavender and blue-violet create a sense of calm.

4. Keep your crystals in a safe place. Never allow others to touch them as they are conductors and transmitters of energy. They can be cleaned with water before each use to clear away energy.

5. Know how the different stones treat various ailments. Learn more about the process by visiting the "Mystical Soup" Web site (see Resources below).

Create Balance Through the Use of Chakras

6. Understand the "chakra" system as it relates to crystal healing. The "chakras" are 7 energy centers located along a vertical line on the front middle of your body. They cannot be seen; they can only be intuitively felt.

7. Know how the "chakras" relate to your current state. Visit the "Kacha Stones" Web site for a detailed description (see Resources below).

8. Accumulate stones specifically designated to each "chakra." Each "chakra" has its own color representation and location: the crown of the head (white or violet stones), between the eyes (indigo or dark blue), the throat (light blue), the heart (green or pink), the navel (yellow), the upper pelvis (orange) and the lower pelvis (red or black stones).

9. Place the stones along the correct "chakra" location as you lie down. Visualize the "chakra" radiating the color of the stone outward for about 10 minutes or until you feel it is done.

10. Concentrate your thoughts on the "chakra" that directly relates to your current problem whether it be physical or spiritual. You can also focus on creating energy for the type of qualities you are seeking.

11. Clean your crystals in cold water. You may also want to leave them in sunlight to purify their energies before the next use.

Tips & Warnings

• Crystal healing can be done through a crystal healer, but most people prefer to do it themselves. Costs are more inexpensive since you will only pay for the crystals and you get to keep them.
• If you're experiencing heart trouble, loss of memory, or any tingling sensations in your limbs, consult immediate medical care.
• Crystal healing is not a proven science and results do vary.
• Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.

on 2/8/2009 This is something new to me and I'm going to have to study it in depth. I love the concept and since I study about herbs I think this would add to what I already know. Thanks for posting this.
